Moderators: Please Lock my OU RMT as i am starting another one :D
Overview
Details
Yanmega @ Focus Sash
4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Speed Boost
Modest (+SpA, -Atk)
-Bug Buzz
-Air slash
-Protect
-Hidden power ground 70
Description: Basically a scout for the opposing team, almost nothing in the new UU environment can actually fully wall this. Bug buzz for basic stab as well as air slash... Protect is to scout while the last move is still undecided.
Why Yanmega?
Good against most leads like ambipom and nice scouter. Also it is great for luring out some walls like registeel out early
Why those evs?
Standard set, works fine
Why the moveset?
Common moveset, Hidden power to dent registeel... 2 stab moves and protect for scouting
Blaziken @ Life orb
72Atk/252spA/184spe
Blaze
Mild (+SpA, -Def)
-Fire blast
-Superpower
-Hidden power Grass
-Vaccum Wave
Description: My physical attacker right here, since his movepool is big on both the special and physical spectrum, some trainers might send in a special wall to counter this on a switch thus giving me a chance to set up and probably KO... Should i change anything?
Big Change to Mixed, Superpower for stab and a physical attack, HP grass for waters, vaccum wave for priority and fire blast for mega stab...
Why blaziken?
Good fire type sweeper, very nice offensive stats and huge movepool to choose from!
Why the Evs?
Just enough for critical OHKOs like superpowering a chansey and outspeeding certain pokes!
Why the moves?
Nice coverage with 2 STAB attacks and HP grass for pesky grounds/waters and vaccum wave for revenge killing stuff like Swellow that are close to death.
Torterra @ Leftovers
212 HP / 252 Def / 44 Spe
Overgrow
Impish (+Def, -SpA)
-Leech seed
-Wood Hammer
-Earthquake
-Roar
Description: This is something like my "physical" wall; however, even without Attack evs it still leaves a dent in opposing pokemon with Wood hammer and EQ while they get a STAB boost (and possibly an overgrow boost for the hammer) leech seed is when i predict a switch and stealth rocks is a filler slot that is helpful since fire pokemon like moltres and charizard (who takes 50% from SR) are everywhere in UU... This tank also works great to counter sweepers such as drapion which can not OHKO even with +2... then i would KO with EQ or dent it and have one of my faster pokes like swellow finish it off...
Why Torterra?
Exellent defensives, great immunities to support this teams weaknesses like ground, electric, rock, and also helps by stopping physical sweepers like drapion.
Why the evs?
Packs just the right evs to be able to go on the offensive while having a good amount of defensive qualities!
Why the moves?
Wood hammer is for just stab while EQ is for drapions and for regular STAB. Leech seed is a great way of recovery (if i predict right) and Roar is there to make sure no set ups go out of control.
Manectric @ Peteya Berry
252SpA/252Spe/4HP
Static
Timid (+Spe, - Atk)
-Thunderbolt
-Overheat
-Substitute
-Hidden power grass
Description: My main wall breaker here... Fast speed and high spA makes it very viable for a special sweeper but since hypno's and grumpigs are gay i am running crunch (and some atk evs) to counter them when they think they can just CM up. Expert belt over Life orb since i already have a Blaziken with LO. This is here to add some speed into my team and to scare off frail pokes like azumarril or somethign like that and sub up, and attack and then keep on subing till you get the peteya berry boost and then KO (or leave a dent)
Change: All special now since mixed isn't suited for UU
Why manectric?
Great Speed and Special attack along with a rather nice movepool
Why the evs?
Due to its frailty, Manectric needs all the speed it can get to outrun as much as possible as well as hit as hard as he can
Why the moves?
Obviously, Thunderbolt is for STAB, overheat is for lousy no good walls, HP grass is for things like gastrodon and quasire and lastly Substitute is for Peteya berry :D
Milotic @Life orb
152 HP / 80 Def / 220 SpA / 56 Spe
Marvle Scale
Bold (+Special Defense, -Atk)
-Hidden power Grass
-Ice beam
-Surf
-Recover
Description: This will be my status absorber along with my Special wall with sleep support as well as fast/instant recovery. Milotic also does have a solid 100 base SpA so a surf or two will leave a dent in opponents. I changed this to Raikoulover's set since i like having walls that can actually fight back and make my opponent think twice before just sending a random poke in...
Change: This is a set of Raikoulover, made for UU... Making milotic a tank along with some fight in it
Why Milotic?
Pretty bulky along with a solid 100 base Special attack so i can fight back while on defense.
Why the evs?
Since milotic is quite bulky and the attackers in UU are not extremely powerful, she gets a chance to add some evs to offense just so she can make important KOs like on Nidokings, Altaria, Crobat, Quasire, etc
Why the moves?
Why? For great coverage of course, Surf kills grounds/rocks/fires, Ice beam kills flying, dragons, grasses, and Grass kills annoying stuff with water absorb like mantine, poliwrath, quasire,etc
Swellow @ Flame orb (should i use toxic?)
252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Guts
Jolly (+Speed, -SpA)
-Quick attack
-U-turn
-Brave bird
-Facade
Description: My late game sweeper right here, I like to use this as a revenge killer and to buy time for the orb to activate. Many pokes like hitmontop think they can just waltz in and mach punch me but not this time, quick attack will kill a weakened one or at least dent it... Facade and BB are common STAB moves and U-turn is for scouting at times :D
Why Swellow?
He is fast, strong, and has a nice STAB priority move!
Why the evs?
Just standard, since it isn't exactly bulky, he needs as much speed and atk he can get!
Why the moves?
U-turn is nice for predicting switches and getting the right counter in the game! Brave bird is a nice STAB along with the high base powered Facade after the burn! Lastly i changed protect for Quick attack because it makes a nice revenge killer with that and this way you can outspeed other priority move users that are weakened and you can KO! ANY CRITISM WELCOME
